Next, with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, an outline of a game played by the pachinko machine of the first embodiment will be described. [Game by Normal Symbol Display Device] Here, first, a normal game associated with the passage of a game ball to the ordinary symbol operation gate 40 will be described. The game ball is usually a symbol operating gate 40
, The left red diode, the middle green diode, and the right red diode of the ordinary symbol display device 32 are sequentially turned on (variable display).

Here, during the fluctuation display or stop of the ordinary symbol display device 32, or during the opening of the ordinary electric accessory 42,
Further, when the game ball passes the normal symbol operation gate 40,
The LEDs of the ordinary symbol storage LEDs 33 are sequentially turned on, and are turned off each time the variation of the ordinary symbol display device 32 starts. It should be noted that, even if the above-mentioned gaming balls pass through the normal symbol operation gate 40, the values are stored only in the first four balls, and the values beyond that are not held. In the state where the winning is stored, the fluctuation is started again after the fluctuation is stopped in the ordinary symbol display device 32.

After the fluctuation of the normal symbol display device 32 is started, the fluctuation is fixed for a fixed time of 28 seconds, and then the fluctuation is stopped when the displayed symbol coincides with the stop symbol selected by the later-described normal symbol random number. If the LED of the normal symbol stops at −- ○ (right and left lighting), it is off. If the normal symbol is stored after 0.5 seconds, the normal symbol starts to change again.
On the other hand, when the LED of the normal design stops at-○-(medium lighting), it is a hit, and the normal electric accessory 42 is opened for 0.2 seconds. When one game ball wins in the opened ordinary electric accessory 42, the opening operation ends even during the opening time. In addition, the symbol usually wins with a probability of 3/24.

[Game with Special Symbol Display] A game ball is a first type starting port 41 or an ordinary electric accessory 42 opened.
When the player wins, each display section 34 of the special symbol display device 34

On the other hand, when the symbols of the first display portion 34A, the second display portion 34B, and the third display portion 34C are the same, a big hit occurs, the stop display is performed for 0.8 seconds, and then the determination symbol display device 29 displays the determination symbol. The opening time of the special winning opening 51 is determined based on the result of the determination symbol. That is, 7, 7, or 3,
When the symbol 3 is displayed, the special winning opening 51 is opened for 30 seconds. On the other hand, when the symbol 7, 3, or 3, 7 is displayed, the special winning opening 51 is opened for 6 seconds, and the emergency of the game ball is released. Provide a state that is easy to win. Even after the elapse of 30 seconds or 6 seconds or within the opening time, the winning port 51 is closed by winning 10 game balls. During the opening of the special winning opening 51, the special winning opening 51 is opened again by passing through the specific area 53. The maximum continuous opening number of the special winning opening 51 is up to 16 times.

Here, when a game ball wins further in the first-type starting port 41 during the fluctuation display, the winning number is stored and sequentially displayed on the special symbol storage display LED35. In addition, the above-mentioned game ball is the first kind starting port 41.
Even if a prize is won, it is remembered only for the first four
No further values are retained. In the state where the winning is stored, the fluctuation is started again after the fluctuation is stopped in the special symbol display device 34.

Here, the operation of the game control device 50 for performing the above-mentioned game with the pachinko machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. A main processing procedure of the game control device 50 will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 5 showing a main routine.

First, the CPU 84 determines whether or not the power is turned on (S100), and only the first loop immediately after the power is turned on (S100: Yes) proceeds to step 102,
Perform initial settings and end the main routine. Here, when it is determined that the power is not turned on (S100: No), a signal about a winning ball or the like from the winning ball detection switch 45 (see FIG. 4) or the like is input to prepare a form that can be used in another phase. An input process is performed (S200), and the output and edited output data is transferred to the accessory concentration boards 66 and 67 and the payout control board 37.
Output processing (see FIG. 4) is performed (S300).

Subsequently, the normal symbol operation gate 40 (FIG. 2)
(See S400), a normal symbol starting process, which is a process for a game ball that has passed through, is performed (S400), and a normal symbol / ordinary electric winning control process for changing the symbol of the normal symbol display device 32 is performed along with the gate passing process (S600). ).

Further, a special symbol starting process, which is a process for a game ball passing through the first type starting port 41 (see FIG. 2), is performed (S500). A special symbol change process for changing the symbol of the device 34 is performed (S700). Then, a special winning opening control process for opening the special winning opening 51 according to the occurrence of a hit is performed (S8).
00).

Subsequently, a lamp and LED lighting process is performed (S900). Finally, the audio output processing for outputting audio via the upper speaker board 78 is advanced (S90).
2) One cycle of the main routine processing is completed. The main routine is repeated every machine cycle in which a reset signal from a built-in clock is applied to the CPU 84.

Here, the ordinary symbol starting process in the above-described step 400 based on the passing of the game ball to the ordinary symbol operation gate 40 will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG.

The CPU 84 normally operates the symbol operation switch 40.
Based on the signal from a, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed the normal symbol operation gate 40 (S402). If the game ball has not passed (S402: No), the normal symbol start subroutine is executed. finish. On the other hand, when the game ball has passed (S402: Yes), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol operation storage number W is less than 4 (S404). Here, the variable W is the normal symbol operation gate 4 during the symbol change of the ordinary symbol display device 32.
This indicates the number of game balls that have passed 0, and the present embodiment is configured so that the number exceeding 4 is not held as described above. Therefore, when the variable W is 4 (S40)
4: No), the subroutine ends.

On the other hand, if the variable W is less than 4, (S40
4: Yes), and after adding 1 to the variable W (S406), the current timing in the normal symbol random number of 24 frames from 0 to 23 shown in FIG. 12B (when the game ball passes through the ordinary symbol operation gate 40) ) Is extracted (S408), this value is retained, and the start-up winning award subroutine ends. As will be described later, out of 24 normal symbol random numbers “0” to “23”, “0” to “20” are out of order and “21” to “2”.
If "3", it is a hit (probability 3/24).

When the game ball passes through the gate 40, a normal symbol / ordinary electric winning control process for variably displaying the ordinary symbol by the ordinary symbol display device is executed (S600). This normal symbol / ordinary electric hand control process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric utility is operating (S602). Before activating the ordinary electric combination (S602: No), the process proceeds to step 610, and it is determined whether or not the ordinary symbol is operated by the ordinary symbol display device. Here, before changing the ordinary symbol (S61)
0: No), the process proceeds to step 624, and it is determined whether the number of the ordinary symbol operation memories is one or more (S624). Here, in a state where one or more are stored (S624: Yes),
Proceed to step 626. Then, the operation memory is reduced by one (S626), the symbol of the ordinary symbol display device 32 starts to change, and the left red diode 32a and the middle green diode 3
2b, lighting the right red diode 32c (S62)
8).

Subsequently, after the variation timer for setting the variation time is started (S630), the process proceeds to step 634, where the random number value is lost (0 to 20) by looking at the value of the ordinary symbol random number stored in step 408. ) (S634: No), the process proceeds to step 642, where a lost symbol is selected, and when the symbol is normally stopped, the selected lost symbol is displayed. On the other hand, a random number hits (21-
If it corresponds to (23) (S634: Yes), the process proceeds to step 638 to select a hit symbol, thereby displaying the selected hit symbol when the normal symbol is stopped. Finally, the hit flag is turned ON (S640).

When the fluctuation timer is started and a stop symbol is selected, in the next machine cycle, step 61 is executed.
It is determined whether the ordinary symbol of 0 is changing or not. Accordingly, the process proceeds to step 612, where it is determined whether or not the variation timer in which the variation time of the ordinary symbol is set has expired. Here, until the time is up (S612: N
o), proceed to step 622 to continue changing symbols. Then, when the fluctuation timer enters the time-up state (S
612: Yes), proceeding to step 614;
Are left red diode 32a, middle green diode 32
b, The right symbol 32c displays the winning symbol set in step 638 or the off symbol set in step 642.

Thereafter, the routine proceeds to step 616, where it is determined whether the hit flag is ON. Here, if the hit flag is ON (S616: Yes), the process proceeds to step 618 to start the operation of the ordinary electric hand, and proceeds to step 620 to set the operation time (0.2 seconds) of the ordinary electric hand. Start.

In the next machine cycle, step 6
When it is determined in step 02 that the normal electric hand is operating, when the normal electric hand is operated (S602: Yes), the process proceeds to step 604, and it is determined whether or not the operation timer of the normal electric hand is up. to decide. Here, when the time is up (S604: Yes), the process proceeds to step 606 to end the operation of the ordinary electric hand, and proceeds to step 608 to turn off the hit flag.

Next, the change processing of the special symbol display device in steps 500, 700, and 800 shown in FIG. 5 described above based on the winning of the first kind starting port 41 or the above-mentioned ordinary electric accessory 42 will be described. This will be described in detail based on the subroutines of FIGS.

First, the special symbol starting process in step 500 will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG. The CPU 84 determines whether or not a game ball has won the first-type start port 41 or the ordinary electric accessory 42 based on a signal from the first-type start port switch 41a (S502), and the game ball has won. If not (S502: No), the special symbol start subroutine ends. On the other hand, when the game ball wins (S502: Yes), the starting storage variable U is set to 4
It is determined whether it is less than (S504). Here, the variable U is set to the first type opening 41 during the symbol change on the special symbol display device 34.
This indicates the number of game balls that have won the prize. In this embodiment, as described above, the number is not held. Therefore, when the variable U is 4 (S50
4: No), the subroutine ends.

On the other hand, if the variable U is less than 4, (S50
4: Yes), and after adding 1 to the variable U (S506), the current timing in the special jackpot random number of 330 frames from 0 to 329 shown in FIG. (At the time of winning) (S508).
At the same time, FIG. 12 for determining a determination symbol described later.
One of the four random numbers 0 to 3 shown in (C) is extracted. The starting port winning subroutine is terminated with this value held. As described later, in the present embodiment, the random number “7” is set as the big hit, and the big hit is generated with a probability of 1/330.

Next, the special symbol change processing in step 700 of FIG. 5 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Here, the processing when the game ball does not win the first type starting port 41 or the ordinary electric accessory 42, that is, when the variable U is 0 will be described. The CPU 84
First, it is determined whether the symbol of the special symbol display device 34 shown in FIG. 3 is changing (S702 shown in FIG. 9). Here, since the special symbol display device 34 is not changing (S702: N).
o), It is determined whether or not the variable U is "1" or more (S718).
Here, since the variable U is 0 (S718: No),
The subroutine of the special symbol changing process is ended.

Next, a description will be given of the processing when a game ball wins in the first kind starting port 41 or the ordinary electric accessory 42 and the variable U becomes 1. The determination in step 702 as to whether the special symbol display device 34 is changing is No, and the CPU 84
Determines whether the variable U is "1" or more (S718).
Since the variable U is 1 (S718: Yes), "1" is subtracted from the variable U (S720). And the change of the symbol of the special symbol display device 34 is started (S722).

Thereafter, the selection of the stop symbol and the mode at the time of the symbol stop are determined based on whether or not a big hit has occurred. That is, the CPU 84 first executes step 508 described above.
It is determined whether or not the random number value set in the above is the jackpot random number value “7” (S726). Here, when the random number value is "7" (S726: Yes), after setting a special symbol jackpot flag (S730), a jackpot symbol such as 111 or 333 is selected (S732). Then, the reach mode is set as the stop mode (S737), and a special figure fluctuation timer for setting the fluctuation time of the special symbol is started (S738).

On the other hand, the above-mentioned jackpot determination (S72)
When 6) is No, the process proceeds to step 734, where 1
After performing a loss symbol selection process for selecting a loss symbol such as 23 or 124, it is determined whether the selected loss symbol is a reach symbol (S735). Then, when the out-of-position symbol is a reach symbol such as 114 or 223 (S735: Y
es), the process proceeds to step 736 to set the reach mode. On the other hand, when it is not a reach symbol (S735: N
o), the process proceeds to step 736, where the stop of the symbol variation is set in the off mode, and then the special figure variation timer is started (S738).

When the symbol change of the special symbol display device 34 is started in the above-described step 722, in the next machine cycle, in the judgment in step 702, it is determined whether the symbol is being changed, and the CPU 84 first determines whether the symbol is being changed. It is determined whether the symbol change timer set in step 738 has expired (S704). Here, until the symbol stop timer times out due to the elapse of the fluctuation time (S704: No), the fluctuation of the symbol is continued (S71).
6).

When the symbol variation timer times out (S704: Yes), the CPU 84 stops symbol variation in each variation stop mode (S706). That is, when a normal loss which is not the reach mode is set, a normal symbol stop is performed, and when the reach is set, the symbol variation is stopped in the reach mode.

When the special symbol is a big hit symbol (S707: Yes), the CPU 84 performs a judgment symbol process for changing the judgment symbol 29 to determine the opening time of the special winning opening (S1000), and a subroutine for the special symbol change process. The process ends.

The determination symbol processing of step 1000 will be described with reference to FIG. 10 showing a subroutine of the processing. First, the CPU 84 determines whether or not the determination symbol processing has been performed (S1002). Until the processing is performed (No in S1002), the CPU 84 determines whether the determination symbol is changing (S1004). Here, before the start of the fluctuation, (S
1004 is No), the fluctuation of the judgment symbols 29a and 29b is started (S1006). Then, when the symbol variation is started (S1004: Yes), it is determined whether or not the variation time of one second has elapsed (S1008).
1008 is Yes), the change is stopped by the symbol corresponding to the random number extracted in step 508 shown in FIG. 8 (S1).
012). That is, when the random number 0 is extracted, the symbols 3 and 7 are displayed, when the random number 1 is extracted, the symbols 7 and 3 are displayed, and when the random number 2 is extracted, the symbols 3 and 3 are displayed. When the random number 3 is extracted, the symbols 7 and 7 are displayed.

The special winning opening control process in step 800 of FIG. 5 will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG. First, it is determined whether the big hit flag is set (S801). Here, when the jackpot flag is set (S801: Yes), it is determined whether the special winning opening 51 is open (S802). Since the special winning opening is not open in the first operation (S802: No) ), Step 8
Proceeding to 04, it is determined whether it is an interval time after opening. In the first case, since it is the interval time after the determination of a big hit (S804: No), the process proceeds to step 806, where R
= 16 is determined. Here, R is incremented by 1 when passing through a specific area after the end of 1R in the number of rounds. Since R = 0 at this point (S806: No),
Proceeding to step 808, it is determined whether the interval time timer has expired after the determination. Here, the post-judgment interval time is the time from when the big hit is determined to when the big winning opening is opened. When the set time is reached (S80
8: Yes), the process proceeds to step 810, and the opening time of the special winning opening according to the symbol displayed in the determination symbol is set. That is, 3,7 or 7,3 is added to the judgment symbols 29a, 29b.
Is displayed, 6 seconds are set, and when 3, 3 or 7, 7 is displayed, 30 seconds are set. Then, a special winning opening command is issued to open the special winning opening 51 (S811).

In the next machine cycle, step 8
In step S802, it is determined whether the special winning opening is open or not. Since the special winning opening is now open (S802: Yes), step 8 is performed.
Proceed to 12. In step 812, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening time timer has expired. Here, since the big winning opening has just been opened (S812: No), the process proceeds to step 816. In step 816, the count S
W: Determine whether it is ON. Here, if it has not passed through the count switch (S816: No), the process ends. On the other hand, if it has passed (S816: Yes), the process proceeds to step 818, and it is determined whether R = 15. here,
It is the first time to open the special winning opening (S818: N
o), proceed to step 820 to determine whether the specific area SW is ON. In this step 820, if the game ball has passed through the specific area when winning in the special winning opening 51 (S82).
0: No), proceed to step 822; if not passing (S820: Yes), proceed to step 824. Here, the description is continued assuming that the vehicle has passed (Step 820: Y
es). With the passage, the specific area flag is set (S822). Next, it is determined whether or not the count number ≧ 10, that is, whether or not 10 gaming balls have won the special winning opening. When the winning count reaches 10 due to the winning in the big winning opening (S824: Ye
s) The process proceeds to step 826 to issue an instruction for a special winning opening closing command and temporarily close the special winning opening 51. Then, the process proceeds to a step 828, where it is determined whether or not the specific area flag is set. Here, since it is set as described above (S828: Yes), the process proceeds to step 830, and the specific area SW is turned off. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step 832, where the count of winning the special winning opening is reset, and then the process proceeds to step 834, where R = R + 1. As mentioned above, R refers to the number of rounds opened,
If the special winning opening is closed and the specific area SW is ON, it is counted as one time.

In the next machine cycle, since the determination of the interval time after release in step 804 is the interval time after release (S804: Yes), the flow proceeds to step 846. When the interval time after the opening has reached the timer time-up (step 846: Yes), the process proceeds to step 810, and the special winning opening is opened again.

Next, the flow of processing when the opening of the special winning opening is repeated 16 times will be described. In the 16th round, the number of consecutive winning openings has been 15 times so far, so R =
It becomes 15. First, it is assumed that the special winning opening is open (S8
02: Yes), the process proceeds to step 812, and until the special winning opening time timer expires (S812: N).
o), the process proceeds to step 816, and if it is determined that the count SW is ON, the count SW is passed (S81).
6: Yes), proceed to step 818 to determine whether R = 15. Here, since R = 15 (S81
8: Yes), without setting the specific area flag
Move to step 824. If it is determined in step 824 that the count number ≧ 10 (S824: Yes), the flow advances to step 826 to output an instruction for a special winning opening closing command, and then to step 828 to determine whether the specific area flag is set. to decide. As described above, R = 15
Since the specific area flag is not set (S828: No), the process proceeds to step 836, where R is set to 1
Make 6

In the next machine cycle, step 802
In the determination of whether or not the special winning opening is open, the current state is that the final round has been completed (S802: N
o), proceed to step 804; Since it is determined in step 804 whether the interval time is after opening, the current state is that the big hit ends and the end delay time is entered (S804: N
o), proceed to step 806. Since it is R = 16 at the present time in the determination of whether or not R = 16 in step 806 (S806: Yes), the process proceeds to step 848, and it is determined whether or not the end delay time timer is up. Here, if the time is not up (S848: No), the process ends. On the other hand, if the time is up (S84
8: Yes), proceed to step 850 to reset R, and then turn off the big hit flag (S852).

In the pachinko machine of this embodiment, when the jackpot is a big hit and the judgment symbol is 3, 3 or 7, 7, there are almost 10 prizes during opening for 30 seconds. Assuming that the number of prize balls is 15, the number of payout balls is 10 (number of winning prize holes per round) × 16 (number of rounds) × 15 (number of prize balls) = 2400. on the other hand,
When the judgment symbol is 3,7 or 7,3, there are an average of 5 prizes during the opening of 6 seconds, and the number of balls is 5 (the number of winning prizes per round) × 16 (the number of rounds). ) × 15
The number of balls (the number of prize balls) = 1200, that is, even if the game has progressed to the final 16 rounds, the number of balls to be played becomes less than half. For this reason, in the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, the probability of occurrence of a jackpot can be increased.

Further, in the first embodiment, the opening time of the special winning opening is made different depending on the result of the judgment symbol, so that the game by the special winning opening can be changed and the interest can be enhanced. In the first embodiment, the opening time of the special winning opening is changed according to the determination symbol. However, the opening time of the special winning opening may be changed according to the big hit symbol. For example,
In the case of an odd-numbered jackpot symbol such as 333, 555, 777, etc., the large winning opening is opened for 30 seconds, and 222, 444, 6
In the case of a big hit symbol of an even symbol such as 66, it is also possible to set so that the big winning opening is opened for 6 seconds.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a first modification of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the example described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12, the first-type machine has been exemplified as the pachinko machine. On the other hand, in the first modified example, a variable configuration of the opening time of the special winning opening is applied to the third-type pachinko machine. In this pachinko machine, when a game ball passes through the ordinary symbol operation gate 141, the ordinary symbol display device 13
Normal pattern 2 changes. Here, when the right to align the ordinary symbols is generated, the ordinary electric accessory 142 is opened, and when the game ball passes through the special device operation area 153 in the ordinary electric accessory 142, a random number is extracted, and the extracted random number is extracted. The judgment symbol 129 is displayed accordingly. Here, when the symbol “○” is displayed in the judgment symbol, the big winning opening 151 is opened for 10 seconds due to the winning in the third type starting opening 143. On the other hand, when "X" is displayed on the judgment symbol, the special winning opening 151 is opened for 6 seconds. Then, even after the second round, the special winning opening is opened at the same time until the right ends.

In the pachinko machine of the first modified example, when a right is generated and the judgment symbol is ○, there are almost 10 prizes during opening for 10 seconds, and a prize ball when a prize is won in the special winning opening. Assuming that the number is 15, the number of payouts is 10 (the number of winning prizes per round) × 16 (the number of rounds) × 15 (the number of prize balls) = 2400. On the other hand, when the judgment symbol is "x", there are an average of 5 winnings during opening for 6 seconds, and the number of winning balls is 5 (the number of winning prizes per round) x 1
6 (number of rounds) × 15 (number of prize balls) = 1200, that is, the number of balls to be played is less than half. For this reason, in the pachinko machine according to the first modification of the first embodiment, the probability of right generation can be increased.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a second modification of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the first modification described above, a third-type machine is given as an example of the pachinko machine. On the other hand, in the second modified example, a variable configuration of the opening time of the special winning opening 251 is applied to the second-type pachinko machine. In this pachinko machine, when a game ball passes through the second type starting port 241, the special winning port 251 is opened. Here, if the game ball passes through the specific area 253 while the special winning opening is open, a big hit occurs. Here, when the game ball passes through the specific area 253, a random number is extracted, and a judgment symbol 229 is displayed according to the extracted random number. Here, when a circle is displayed on the judgment symbol, the special winning opening 251 is opened 18 times for 0.9 seconds in one round. On the other hand, when "X" is displayed on the determination symbol, the special winning opening 151 is opened six times for 0.9 seconds in one round.

In the pachinko machine of the second modified example, when the judgment symbol is “○”, almost one opening is performed during 18 times of opening for 0.9 seconds.
There are 0 prizes, and the number of prize balls when winning the grand prize mouth is 1
If the number is five, the number of balls will be 10 (the number of winnings in the special winning opening) × 15 (the maximum number of rounds) × 15 (the number of winning balls) = 2.
It becomes 250 pieces. On the other hand, when the judgment symbol is x, 0.9
There are an average of 5 prizes during the opening of 6 times per second, and the number of balls will be 5 (the number of prizes to the big winning opening per round) x 1
5 (number of rounds) × 15 (number of prize balls) = 1,225, which is a half or less. For this reason, in the pachinko machine according to the second modification of the first embodiment, it is possible to increase the probability of occurrence of a jackpot.

Next, a description will be given of a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the pachinko machine of the above-described first embodiment, the opening time of the special winning opening or the number of times of opening is determined when a jackpot occurs. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the determination symbol is changed for each round, and the opening time of the special winning opening is changed according to the stop symbol. The mechanical configuration of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is also the same as that of the first embodiment described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 and will be described with reference to FIG.

When the game ball wins the first kind starting port 41 or the opened ordinary electric accessory 42, the fluctuations of the symbols 0 to 9 are displayed on the display portions 34A, 34B, 34C of the special symbol display device 34, respectively. Start. 1st display part 34A, 2nd
When the symbols on the display unit 34B and the third display unit 34C are the same, a big hit is achieved. Here, for each of the 16 rounds, the judgment symbol display device 29 changes the judgment symbol before the opening of the special winning opening, and according to the result of the judgment symbol, the large winning opening 51.
Open time is determined. That is, the judgment symbols 29a, 29
When the symbol 7, 7, or 3, 3 is displayed in b, in the round, the special winning opening 51 is opened for 30 seconds, while, when the symbol 7, 3, or 3, 7 is displayed, In this round, the special winning opening 51 is opened for 6 seconds, thereby providing a state in which the game balls are very easy to win. Even if the 30 seconds or 6 seconds have elapsed or the opening time has elapsed, the large winning opening 51 is closed when approximately nine game balls have won. During the opening of the special winning opening 51, the game proceeds to the next round by passing through the specific area 53, and after the judgment symbol is changed, the time special winning opening 51 corresponding to the judgment symbol is opened. The maximum continuous opening number (round number) of the special winning opening 53 is up to 16 times.

The operation of the game control device 50 for performing a game with the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment will be described. The processing of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is the same as the processing of the first embodiment described above with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10 except for the special winning opening control processing. Omitted. The special winning opening control process will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG. First, it is determined whether the big hit flag is set (S801). Here, when the jackpot flag is set due to the occurrence of the jackpot (S801: Yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 51 is open (S802). The first operation is because the special winning opening is not open. (S802: No), Step 804
Then, determine whether it is the interval time after opening. In the first case, since it is the interval time after the determination of the big hit (S804: No), the process proceeds to step 806, where R =
16 is determined. Here, R is incremented by 1 when passing through the specific area after the end of 1R in the number of rounds. Since R is still 0 at this point (S806: No), the process proceeds to step 808, and the after-determination interval time timer is set. Judge whether the time is up. Here, the post-judgment interval time is the time from when the big hit is determined to when the big winning opening is opened. When the set time is reached (S80
8: Yes), proceed to step 1000 to perform a judgment symbol process.

In this judgment symbol processing, as described above with reference to FIG. 10, the judgment symbol 29 is changed, and the judgment symbol corresponding to the random number is displayed. Here, when the random number 0 is extracted, the symbols 3 and 7 are displayed, when the random number 1 is extracted, the symbols 7 and 3 are displayed, and when the random number 2 is extracted, the symbols 3 and 3 are displayed. Is displayed, and when the random number 3 is extracted, symbols 7 and 7 are displayed.

Subsequently, at step 810, the opening time of the special winning opening is set according to the symbol displayed in the judgment symbol. That is, when 3, 7, or 7, 3 is displayed on the judgment symbols 29a, 29b, 6 seconds is set, and when 3, 3, or 7, 7 is displayed, 30 seconds is set. And
A special winning opening command is issued to open the special winning opening 51 (S811).

0: No), proceed to step 822; if not passing (S820: Yes), proceed to step 824. Here, the description is continued assuming that the vehicle has passed (Step 820: Y
es). With this passage, the specific area flag is set (S822). Next, it is determined whether or not the count number ≧ 10, that is, whether or not 10 gaming balls have won the special winning opening. When the winning count reaches 10 due to the winning in the big winning opening (S824: Ye
s) The process proceeds to step 826 to issue an instruction for a special winning opening closing command and temporarily close the special winning opening 51. Then, the process proceeds to a step 828, where it is determined whether or not the specific area flag is set. Here, since it is set as described above (S828: Yes), the process proceeds to step 830, and the specific area flag is reset. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step 832, where the count of winning the special winning opening is reset, and then the process proceeds to step 834, where R = R + 1. As mentioned above, R refers to the number of rounds opened,
If the special winning opening is closed and the specific area flag is set, it is counted as one time.

In the next machine cycle, since it is the interval time after release at step 804, which is the interval time after release (S804: Yes), the flow proceeds to step 846. When the interval time after opening has reached the timer time-up (Step 846: Yes), the process proceeds to Step 1000, where the judgment symbol is changed, and the special winning opening is opened for a time corresponding to the judgment symbol.
